Why the Veda snana whirlpools are
 constructed in the Temples ?



In the panch bhootas (five elements),

the water has been given the important

role as it is most essential for all the

creatures in this universe.

Without  food man can survive for few days.


But without  water one can not live even for few hours.


Water is  vital , it is lit and also life.


For drinking, cooking  dishes,  cleaning,

washing  for every kind of  work and

 for every thing , the water is needed.

We can not discuss about the importance

of the water since we are experienced .


We  should not enter the temples  with impurity. 

Uncleanliness is every where restricted .


And  in the temples, it is totally banned.


 We  have to purify ourselves.

 All the scripts say we must have the

Antah suchi as well as Baahya suchi.

 When we want to visit the temples means

without  devotion we will not go  there.


 The devotion itself is purity of the heart.


 Like that, baahya suchi is also compulsory.

 That means, we have to purify ourselve bodily also.


 Then automatically the antaha suchi

( inner purification) will be taken place.


The Veda Snana whirlpools which are

constructed in the temples for the

 sake of purification in all aspects.


On the occasions  of festivals and other

 religious ritual time,  the temple priests

make the Deities’ Idols for Chakra snanam  by

chanting Mantras  in those Veda snana whirlpools (pit).


 By doing this auspicious thing, the temple

 lotus tank ( Pushkarini) gets  become  divineful purity. 


The Yogis, Sidhhas (santly persons) and the

Sages take their bath in those Pushkarini

which is veda snana whirlpool.


After their bath, we  have to enter the

 puskarini and dip into that seven times 

and then finally wipe off with upper cloth.

But while getting dried, first we have to

 wipe the back side , then face and orderly.


After coming out of the Pushkarini, on the bank,

 Vibhuti should be applied on the forehead and

also put the Kumkuma  and then go for the

 Daiva Darshan in side the temple.

By doing this, every one will attain  the Grace of God.


 Even a common man also has to follow that custom.
